Italian Baroque staircase in the center of Rome. It is recognized as one of the most picturesque in Europe. The staircase starts at Plaza de España and leads to Pincho Hill. Piazza di Spagna itself is a very expressive place where it is always pleasant to stroll among flowering flower beds. In the XVII century, the Spanish embassy was located here. In a sign of good relations between the two countries, the piazza was named in honor of Spain.
Address:
Piazza di Spagna, Roma

To wander the streets of Rome is to trace the fingerprints of history, and nowhere is this more poignant than at the famed Spanish Steps. As one of Rome's iconic landmarks, the 135 steps not only connect the Piazza di Spagna at the base with the.. Read more » Piazza Trinità dei Monti at the top, but also serve as a sublime nexus between past and present, a poetic space where life unfolds in the heart of the Eternal City.
The Spanish Steps, built in the 18th century, embody the quintessence of Baroque Roman architecture. Their elegant and sweeping lines provide a visual feast that juxtaposes beautifully with the bustling, vibrant energy of the city. From the moment you set foot on these storied stones, you feel an immediate sense of the many lives and stories that have unfolded here.
Yet, while the steps are a sight to behold at any time of day, they truly come into their own as the sun begins its descent. Make it a point to ascend the Spanish Steps at sunset and prepare yourself for a spectacle that words barely suffice to describe. As the fading sunlight bathes the Roman skyline in a soft, warm hue, the city seems to slow its pace and hold its breath, waiting for the grand spectacle of the day's end.
From the top of the Spanish Steps, you are treated to an unparalleled view. As you look down upon the Piazza di Spagna, the city unfurls in a breathtaking panorama, revealing a scene as charming as it is timeless. The sinking sun casts long shadows, sketching a silhouette of the city that leaves you breathless, and even the most everyday scenes seem bathed in magic.
It is at this magical hour that you truly understand why the Spanish Steps have enchanted generations. The sublime beauty, the historic resonance, and the soft symphony of a city at dusk blend together to offer a slice of Rome that's both intimate and grand, a testament to the city's everlasting charm.
